Happy 7th birthday Mackenzie! You are such a sweet little girl! How you had a fun day with family abd friends!!!! You look so much like your cute little sister Meredith too! Meredith is sooooooo adorable!!!!!!!! Michael and Marcus are getting bigger too! Heard Josh and Anna are building their relationship too!!!!!!! Been praying for them also, God is so good!!!!!!

Happy birthday to the birthday girl. May you continue to grow in wisdom and understanding as well,loving God and family. Praise God He has given you a close family. It is so great to have the blessings of a family. May you continue to grow hearing the teachings of the Lord and walk in His ways all the days of your life.

This child is getting old enough to figure out what went on with her father, or hear it from someone, or stumble across something in a magazine. And then what? How can you have done that to your own daughter?

So sad for her and the other children in that family. Yes, she will discover the truth someday, and it will hurt terribly all over again. She probably already sensed that something was wrong, or was told some cover-up story about why her father was away for so long. Cannot imagine putting your child in that position. Especially when you're supposed to know better!

Josh has to know that his kids are getting older and will expect explanations someday. We can only imagine what that will include. Can't look at those kids without remembering how he hurt them for his own selfish reasons.
